Shu Puer Lao Cha Tou (Old Tea Heads) 2015

Shu Puer Lao Cha Tou is a special form of dark puerh, formed during the fermentation process as a result of the natural clumping of tea leaves under the influence of temperature, humidity and time. Such fragments are called "Old Tea Heads" (Lao Cha Tou), and they have a dense structure, concentrated flavor and high brewing endurance.
